We reported yesterday that Gilead Power is actively prospecting for landowners to lease 10,000 hectares of land for a wind power project. The citizens of Greater Napanee held a public information meeting last night. Note the comments from a landowner who has been approached numerous times by the aggressive wind power developer.

Here is a report from local resident Bill Daverne.

Greater Napanee says “No”

Tuesday night, the Town of Greater Napanee held an open council meeting dedicated to public input on the proposed Gilead Power 40-80MW Dorland wind power project.

Dorland is to be sited in a 10,000-hectare swath of properties south and east of Hay Bay in the waterfront community in which Sir John A. Macdonald lived as a child, and which is today a mix of farms, residences and recreation properties.

Lease acquisition is well underway, but no Feed In Tariff or FIT contract has been…

While Altamont Pass operators have been hiding most of their wind turbine mortality with search intervals of 30-90 days, the rest of North American wind farms hide mortality by using search areas that are far too small. By using only 50 meter search areas for their huge new turbines, the wind facility operators can easily hide over 90% of fatalities caused from turbine blade strikes.

The motive is obvious. The more avian bloodshed, the more public outcry. The more outcry, the less money for wind industry players. The more they hide the ecological devastation, the more they mute the outcry and maintain the flow of subsidies for wind power.

The horrendous impacts on bird and bat populations across North America are of little concern to these special interests.

Dalton’s fill-in, Kathleen Wynne is so deep and responsible for the continuing out and out robbery of citizens money in Ontario it literally begs belief that she even has the nerve to show her face outside the guarded walls of Queen’s Park to address the citizenry of this once great Province.

McGuinty’s and Wynne’s legacy will live in infamy as probably the most corrupt and biggest lying Government ever to run (ruin) this Province.

Of course “denial” is one way to avoid having a conscience and moral argument with one’s self, when the nagging reality of one’s actions is as bad as the ten year “rape of Ontario” by these miscreants!

(October 1, 2013) The press release on September 24, 2013, from the Attorney General’s (AG) office was headlined: “Attorney General recovers $17 million for Victims of Ponzi Scheme” and went on to describe how the money had been seized and sent to the American authorities with respect to a US orchestrated “Ponzi Scheme”.

A few posts back we covered the excellent survey put together by STT Champion, Anne Schafer on the growing public health disaster at AGL’s Macarthur wind farm.

The turbine noise levels generated not only breach the conditions of AGL’s planning consent, but drive the locals nuts night, after sleepless night.

Non-compliant wind farms, like Macarthur, are under investigation by Senator John Madigan who has been hot on the trail of several other cases of REC fraud in Victoria – including Waubra (Acciona) and Cape Bridgewater (Pac Hydro).

The latest twist in Marshall Madigan’s hunt to round up REC fraudsters occurred last week when Pyrenees Shire Council staff refused to hand over a report by consulting group Heggies.

STT has it on very good authority that the Heggies report concludes that Acciona’s Waubra wind farm does not and can never comply with the noise conditions of its planning consent.  Withholding…
